      Píše sa rok 1468. Mladý kňaz Christopher Fairfax prichádza na koni do odľahlej dediny v juhozápadnom Anglicku, aby pochoval tamojšieho farára. Okolitá krajina je posiata predmetmi z dávnych čias – mincami, črepinami, ľudskými kosťami –, ktoré starý farár vyhľadával a zbieral. Doplatil na svoju posadnutosť minulosťou vlastným životom? Fairfax je odhodlaný odhaliť pravdu. Nasledujúcich šesť dní otrasie všetkým, čo si doposiaľ myslel o sebe, cirkvi aj o svete.

      September 1938. Hitler sa rozhodol začať vojnu. Chamberlain zúfalo túži udržať mier. O tejto otázke sa rozhodne v meste, čo sa navždy zapíše do dejín vďaka dohode, ktorá nielenže viedla k rozkladu demokratického Československa, ale aj otvorila dvere Hitlerovým politickým ambíciám v Európe. Zatiaľ čo Chamberlainovo lietadlo letí ponad Lamanšský prieliv a Hitlerov vlak uháňa na juh od Berlína, do Mníchova cestujú Hugh Legat, jeden z Chamberlainových osobných tajomníkov, a Paul Hartman, nemecký diplomat a člen protihitlerovského odboja. Tí dvaja boli kedysi dobrými priateľmi a teraz, keď je budúcnosť Európy na vážkach, sa ich cesty znova pretnú.

      Thomas z vlastných skúseností dobre vie, že CHAOS-u nemožno veriť. Predstavitelia organizácie ho však presviedčajú, že klamať už nie je potrebné. Zo skúšok zozbierali všetky potrebné údaje a teraz sa spoliehajú iba na Flekárov s obnovenou pamäťou, že im pomôžu naplniť poslanie. Flekári majú dobrovoľne absolvovať posledný test a dokončiť tak plán, ktorým je vyvinutie lieku na erupciu. CHAOS však netuší, že sa stalo niečo, čo nemohli predvídať nijaké skúšky ani premenné. Thomas si pamätá oveľa viac, než predpokladajú. A vie aj to, že CHAOS-u nemôže veriť ani slovo. S klamstvami je koniec. Lenže pravda je nebezpečnejšia, ako si Thomas vie predstaviť. Prežil Labyrint aj Zhorenisko. Prežije však aj smrteľnú liečbu?

    • The Portobello area of West London has a rich personality - vibrant, brilliant in colour, noisy, with graffiti that approach art, bizarre and splendid. An indefinable edge to it adds a spice of danger. There is nothing safe about Portobello... Eugene Wren inherited an art gallery from his father near an arcade that now sells cashmere, handmade soaps and children's clothes. But he decided to move to a more upmarket site in Kensington Church Street. Eugene was fifty, with prematurely white hair. He was, perhaps, too secretive for his own good. He also had an addictive personality. But he had cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and had given up cigarettes. Which was just as well, considering he was going out with a doctor. For all his good intentions, though, there was something he didn't want her to know about... On a shopping trip one day, Eugene, quite by chance, came across an envelope containing money. He picked it up. For some reason, rather than report the matter to the police, he wrote a note and stuck it up on lamppost near his house: 'Found in Chepstow Villas, a sum of money between eighty and a hundred and sixty pounds. Anyone who has lost such a sum should apply to the phone number below.' This note would link the lives of a number of very different people - each with their obsessions, problems and dreams and despairs. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello would bustle on.

      Special Agent Mark Beamon is a maverick. His open disdain for the FBI's rules - and Directors - has exiled him to a no-profile post in the boondocks. But when a shadowy right-wing group starts flooding America's emergency rooms with dead and dying, Beamon is summoned back to Washington. Teamed with an icily efficient female field agent, he is given the thankless task of stopping the slaughter--even though millions of Americans secretly approve of it. As the body count rises, Beamon realizes there is something eerily familiar about his adversary, reminding him of the coldest killer he ever encountered - not a criminal but a law enforcement colleague. And for the first time, he wonders why he was chosen for this assignment. Was it his expertise - or his expendability?
